The key to writing engagingly
Hi everyone!
Thanks for joining me.
I've put my arms in a meat grinder this week (a.k.a., I've spend too much time on the keyboard) and as a result my repetitive strain injury flared up. That means no comic this week. Still, I managed to write one story :)
Enjoy!
How to Stop Being so Freaking Boring by Adding Some Personality to Your Writing
The key to writing engagingly

Ah, this was me when I first started blogging, after having written for pharmacy journals for years. In the medical world no-one does things, things "are done" to patients... all very passively, at least in print. Over the past 5 years I gradually put more of myself into my articles and now I especially love talking about personal experiences. For example, my piece about being bitten by a plant was a bit hit! Great article, David... Right on the mark with good advice for writers!!
